The Shredder
Because I have a Mac, finding compatible apps is always bit of a challenge. Thankfully there's one program I found to be pretty workable called "Shredder" (no relation to the TMNT villian). It's pretty simple and easy to use. Full Elo rating adjustment and all that jazz. A good offline chess app for the more casual chess player
